A woman was sentenced to more than four years in prison for a brazen scheme to conduct a fraudulent sale of Graceland, the famed estate of Elvis Presley.
Lisa Jeanine Findley of Missouri pleaded guilty to felony mail fraud in February, after prosecutors accused her of using a fake company, falsified court filings, a fabricated loan, and the forged signature of Presley's late daughter to pry the estate away from the singer's family.
The judge called it a "wild scheme" and "highly sophisticated", as she tried to defraud the Presley family.
Graceland, the rock legend's home of 20 years before his death in 1977, is a monument to his musical career and legacy, welcoming a half million visitors each year.
The 120-acre property occupies a near-mythical place in American popular culture and bears the distinction of National Historic Landmark. Visitors can view Presley's collection of bedazzled costumes and classic cars, as well as exhibits and events celebrating his work.
